Chapter 56: The Courtesan Rumeng
Due to various coincidences, Miss Rumeng was like a shining pearl. With her unique background, outstanding talent and stunning beauty, she became the most beautiful girl in the Imperial Music Bureau.
Whether in the restaurant or on the street, people around were talking about Miss Rumeng.
Her name was like a whirlwind, everywhere.
Xiao Yuanche also heard that the poem that has been passed down through the ages, "A ray of rosy clouds disappears from the corner of the building, and the beautiful woman and the moon pick plum blossoms", was used by literati and scholars to describe the girl Ru Meng.
In the past two days, Miss Rumeng's name has been following Xiao Yuanche like a shadow, completely occupying his mind.
His curiosity was aroused to the extreme, like a hooked cat, eager to find out what was going on.
"So, Miss Rumeng has never received any guests?"
Xiao Yuanche gently waved his feather fan in the cold winter, and became interested when he heard the news brought back by his followers.
"That's right, Master."
"Although there are guests discussing poetry and lyrics with Miss Rumeng, Miss Rumeng has no guests yet."
Xiao Yuanche's heart became more and more restless.
Although he had tasted all the courtesans from Yue, he had never tried any from Qing.
The attendant continued to explain, "The people from the Jiaofangsi said that they would auction Miss Rumeng's..."
The follower rolled his eyes and whispered in Xiao Yuanche's ear in a low voice, "First night."
hey-hey--
An evil smile appeared on Xiao Yuanche's suave face.
He took out a seal and said, "Go to Hengyue Bank and withdraw 500,000 taels of silver."
"Yes."
Five hundred thousand taels of silver is more than enough to buy an oiran, let alone participate in an auction.
He prepared this money in order to go to the Ministry of Industry's open day tomorrow. He heard that there were many treasures in the Ministry of Industry.
Buy some and bring them back to Yue State, and sell them to make a lot of money...
He is not stupid and would not spend half a million taels on an oiran.
To be honest, he didn't understand at first why the Kingdom of Yue, which was not that poor, would come to the Kingdom of Qing for 300,000 taels of silver.
Later I figured it out, the three hundred thousand taels was just an excuse to take advantage of the natural disaster.
The real purpose is to let the Queen of Qing take a look at him.
At night, Xiao Yuanche sat in the box on the third floor of the Jiaofangsi, facing the central hall, with no obstacles blocking his view.
Behind the light gauze curtain in the central hall, there was a pretty and graceful figure sitting, with light clouds covering the moon and the wind blowing. Just the figure was enough to make people fall in love with her.
The tables in the central hall were filled with people, and the corridors were also crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder.
The private rooms on the second and third floors were packed and bustling.
The music mother in red clothes and green flowers came on stage, swaying her willow-like waist. After praising Miss Rumeng, she finally announced the highlight.
"My dear gentlemen, please don't blame me for being so cruel and asking for a high price."
"Our Miss Rumeng is a beauty that can topple a whole country."
"The highest bidder wins! Let's get started, gentlemen!"
dong dong dong-
The auction began with the sound of drums as dense as a rainstorm.
In the blink of an eye, the price soared from five hundred taels of silver to five thousand taels.
Five thousand taels, this is only Xiao Yuanche’s official monthly salary.
Of course, the actual amount of silver he spent was far more than that.
"Humph, I think the Qing Kingdom is doomed. People are fighting for an Oiran, huh..."
But then he thought again, this Jiaofangsi was owned by the government, and all this money would eventually flow into the Qing Kingdom's treasury. He couldn't help but sigh that the Qing Kingdom was really cunning.
The old mother was good at dancing and controlled the atmosphere of the whole venue. Wave after wave of climax came like waves.
Finally, the price reached its peak and reached 30,000 taels of silver.
In the capital, there are very few families with such strength.
Some of those who made bids at this time were wealthy businessmen from other countries with great wealth.
The old mother secretly glanced towards Xiao Yuanche's box on the third floor, but saw no movement at all.
She moved behind the curtain and whispered something.
A voice as gentle as an oriole came, "Thank you all for your kindness. Rumeng would like to express her gratitude to you all."
Just listening to the sound can make people feel weak and intoxicated.
Xiao Yuanche held the card in his hand, wondering whether he should take action.
At this moment, a graceful figure behind the curtain walked out slowly.
hiss--
The whole audience fell silent for a moment, and everyone gasped.
Is this Miss Rumeng?
Her face was as delicate as water, as if water could be squeezed out of it, and her waist was so slender that it seemed like it could be broken with one hand.
Her expression is pure and misty, which makes people love her and want to protect her.
As his eyes moved, everyone's souls seemed to be hooked away.
How can this be the most beautiful thing in the world?
Xiao Yuanche stood up suddenly and looked at Miss Rumeng in the hall downstairs with astonishment.
Miss Rumeng looked up and glanced in all directions. When she saw Xiao Yuanche, she smiled at him politely.
This smile made Xiao Yuanche's brain explode.
This...isn't this?
Okay, here's it with a few more rhetorical touches added:
In fact, there is a reason why Xiao Yuanche is such a playboy.
One is that he was born into a royal family, but was not a prince. If he were too capable, he would probably be close to death.
Moreover, he had a clear understanding of himself. His ability and intelligence were far inferior to those of the prince, so why should he fight to the death?
The second is that he had liked someone when he was young. This was the biggest secret in his heart and no one knew about it.
That person was his wet nurse, a palace maid who was ten years older than him.
His biological mother was only concerned with vying for favor all day long, using any means necessary, even going so far as to scratch Xiao Yuanche's arm to lure His Majesty to visit her.
Every time he was injured, it was the wet nurse who took care of him and comforted him.
He once thought that after he grew up and married a princess, he would ask the emperor to marry his wet nurse to him.
Unfortunately, before that day came, the wet nurse suddenly disappeared inexplicably.
He cried bitterly and begged his mother to help him find the person. He knelt down in the rain to beg the emperor and even condescended to ask the prince for help, but no one was willing to help him.
From that day on, the second prince became the most dissolute playboy in Yue State...
The girl Rumeng in front of him was a copy and paste of the wet nurse, and looked exactly like the wet nurse in his memory.
Every frown and smile, even the little mole at the corner of the eye, are exactly the same.
Is the nurse still alive? Should he go and see her? Could this be the nurse's child?
No, this Miss Rumeng is the descendant of a corrupt official of the Qing Kingdom, and her wet nurse is from the Yue Kingdom. How could she have come all the way to the Qing Kingdom?
Besides, the wet nurse has most likely passed away, and Miss Rumeng’s age does not match that.
After eliminating these possibilities, Xiao Yuanche came to a conclusion: this girl Rumeng was like a gift from God, and she came to make up for him.
He must get Miss Rumeng.
This thought was like a weed, spreading wildly and growing madly in his mind.
At this moment, he put everything behind him.
How does the saying go? People will spend their entire lives trying to get what they couldn’t get when they were young…
Xiao Yuanche fell into madness.
He bid directly, "Twenty thousand taels!"
At this moment, a man less than 1.4 meters tall with a small mustache suddenly stood up, looking extremely arrogant.
"Thirty thousand taels!"
"Don't compete with me for this, I've traveled a lot and played with all kinds of women, but this is the first time I've seen such a beautiful one."
"Hahaha!"
The mustache guy had a big belly, which was almost the same length, width and height.
That mouth of yellow teeth, coupled with the bald head, is unbearable to look at.
